Graphics are becoming more and more important in personal computer applications, and whether your interest is in games, serious uses in the home or business applications, it's important to present the screen displays of your programs in the most effective way. This book sets out to show you how to use and how to get the best from the graphics on the Amstrad CPC464 and 664 computers. Subjects covered in detail include animation and sprites, computer-assisted painting, two- and three-dimensional graphics, and charts and graphs. The emphasis throughout the book is on the practical aspects of Amstrad graphics you can use the listings as they stand, in which case you will find that the painting program, the three-dimensional viewer and the graphic design program would each cost more than this book if bought as a separate software package. Alternatively, since all the routines are fully explained, you can modify them to suit your own particular application, or use them as a model for your own totally new graphics programs. All the listings in the book are taken from printer dumps of working programs, so you can be sure no typesetting errors have crept into them; similarly, all the line drawings are taken from working programs, so you will be able to reproduce all the graphics pictures in the book simply by typing in the programs from the listings provided. All in all, a book for every Amstrad owner whether games player or serious user.
